End the Guesswork and Get Your GM Running Right
Are you battling a persistent check engine light, experiencing sudden stalling, or noticing a frustrating decline in your vehicle’s performance and fuel economy?

From the Technician’s Bench: The Diagnostic Dead End
“I’ve seen it a hundred times. A customer comes in after replacing sensors, spark plugs, and even a fuel pump, but the car still runs poorly. The real issue is that the ECM isn’t processing information correctly, sending the wrong signals and causing other perfectly good parts to behave badly. By installing a properly Programmed 2010-2012 Cadillac CTS ECM, you’re not just replacing a part; you’re restoring the central nervous system of your vehicle, ensuring all components work together in harmony as the engineers intended.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do after I purchase this ECM?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program or ship your module without it. You can add the VIN to the notes at checkout or send it in a message to us referencing your order number.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
While the core engine and transmission programming is complete, you may need to perform a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn). This procedure is simple, requires no special tools, and instructions can easily be found online for your specific model. It syncs the new ECM to your vehicle’s keys and anti-theft system.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
This ECM fits a wide variety of GM models as listed in the fitment guide. The best way to confirm is to match the part number from your original module to one of the numbers listed (12616889, 12630908, 12637106, 12642665, 12650256, 12651993). If you are unsure, send us your VIN, and we will happily verify compatibility for you.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and performance issues are caused by a faulty ECM, this will be the correct solution. However, this module will not fix problems caused by other failed mechanical or electrical parts on the vehicle. We always recommend having the vehicle properly diagnosed before ordering.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a quality, inspected, and tested used OEM component that has been expertly programmed with the latest software for your vehicle, ensuring factory-level function and reliability.
